New Beginning

Well this is the beginning to a new blog...for us...I figured that I would start this so that our family would be able to comment on the posts, unlike what it is like over on Xanga, where you must have an account to comment...but that is neither here nor there...

So, having said that...the other day on the drive home from work a song came on the radio...over a year ago, I thought this song was great and all, but less than a year ago this song gained more than just "great song" meaning to me. This is the song that Stephen and I first danced to on our wedding day...every time I hear it now...I cannot help but think back to our wedding day...sure it rained and other things made for the day to a little bit more stressful than I would have liked...but when this song comes on...all I remember are the sweet moments from our day...like for instance...how during the ceremony Stephen getting all tongue twisted while he was reciting his vows to me...and when I came to tears hearing him pledge his love in front our family and close friends...then saying "I do" to the man that I love more than anything on this earth and having a complete peace while saying those two life-changing words...and then having one last dance with my father as well as seeing my new husband dance with his mother...then "breakin' it down" on the dance floor to the chicken song and "Shout"...and then there is our first dance...it really seemed as if we were the only ones around...no cameras flashing, no people talking, nothing except Stephen and me...just us dancing to this song...

I'm gonna be there for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the raindow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you this promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gona love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us.
~Keith Urban

Okay...well I guess that is my sappy post...and maybe this song only means something to Stephen and me...but it is one great song to us...and it was one of the things that we will cherish for many years to come.
